A matrix specimen of walnut-colored, translucent witherite in superb pseudo-hexagonal crystals to 2.2 cm across. Minor blue fluorite near base of specimen. This is not from the more commonly seen Minerva Mine material, but most likely from the Denton Mine due to the odd habit shown. Ex. Carnegie Museum Collection.
